Dear Adi,
Today is Bohag Bihu—the Assamese New Year. It’s always been one of my favourite festivals. I loved shopping for new clothes for all of us and cooking special dishes to make the day festive. No matter where in the world we were, I always tried to make it special.
But this year… I didn’t even remember it was Bihu until today. It feels like I am in a limbo. It feels like I’m just moving through life, going about my chores simply because I have to.
Last year, we bought that beautiful blue kurta for you. You looked so handsome in it, my beautiful boy.
I guess we now have to learn how to live through festivals and occasions without you physically with us. But I choose to believe you’re still here—watching over us like the sweet angel you’ve always been.
I miss you so much, Adi.
Will this heartache ever become bearable?
Love you forever,
Mamma
